Early Temperance Laws in England
The most stringent laws we have had
passed were those of James l., which
may almost be called the first piec' of
temperance legisl tion; for though the
Act of Edward VI. gave rover to the
Justices to suppress unnecessary tippling
houses, it was chiefly directed against
using unlawful games, and bound the
licensed victualers to keep good order in
thei.' hous 8. The act in the first year
of James was intended to restrain the
inordiuate haunting and tip ling in inns
and ale houses; it declar S the 'true use
of ale houses" to he for the relief of
wayfarer' and rot for the ''entertain-
ment of lewde and idle people," There
was to be p nalty of los. for permit
ting "unlawf Il drink n.y." and all dr. nk-
ing was unlawful except by bona fide
travellers, by the guests of travellers, and
b.; art t'sans AMI laborers dur ng their
dinner hour. The public house was only
to be open to residents in the locality for
one hour in the day, for the consump.
tion OF liquor on the premises. This
act was made perpetual, with some modi-
feat ons intended to render conviction
more easy, in the last Parliament of
James. In the first of Charles the pen
altics were somewhat relaxed; but the
law could not be enforced, and under
these stringent laws drunkenness in
creased apace. 1t had reached an ex-
traordinary pitch in 1859, when French
Prot slant wrote from London: "There
is within this city, and in all the towns
of England which have passed through,
so prodigious number of houses where
they sell cert lin drink called ale, that |
think q good half of the ipha itants
NAV be denominat d ale house keepers.
= * But WHAT is most deploIable,
where gentlemen sit and spend much Of
their time drinking a muddy kind of
beverage, and tobacco, which has uni
versally besotted tho nation, and at
which hear they have con umed many
noble estates. And that moth
ing may be wanting to the height of
luxury and impicty of this abomination,
they have translated the organs out Of
III: churches to set them up in taverns,
chanting their dithyrambics and bestal
bacchaualias to the tune Of those ins'ru-
mcnts which were wont to assist them in
the celebration of Gods raises, and
regulate the voices of the worst sing r
in the world, which are the Eng ish in

Long Life For the Temperate.
A prominent life insurance man in
Hartford, Conn.,, says that his experience
and the records of life insurance have
shown him that young men of twenty
years OF age who ab tain entirely from
all kinds of intoxicating drinks have a
good prospect of living to be sixty-four
years of age; while the moderate drinker,
at twenty years of age, can only expect
to live to be thirty-fve and one-half
years old.-Neu York San.

from Hardy, signed by Mr.. Spencer, who
is the gentleman with whom Sheriff Hall
had the difficulty few days ago, an ac-
count Of which, as given by Mr.. Hall,
was published in last weeks paper. Mr..
Spencer claims that the article in last
weeks RECORD does him "great injustice"
He says he did not know that Hall was
an officer at the time; that he is not an
Irshman, and is not given to drunkness,
but admits that he had too much "red-
eye" on the day in question, owing to his
having been wet and cold. He also de,
nies that the sheriff arrested him or at
tempted to arrest him, and claims that be
received the wound in scuffie with Mr..
Hall over the pistol; that the next day he
sent for the justice and submitted, and
was fined S.. He says from the testimo.
ny given by Mr.. Hall that he should
not have been fined more than 81.
The above is synopsis of Mr.. Spencer s
letter which might have been published
in full, but for its personal reflections and
some quotations used which he knows
